Sunday Sermon
Text: Luke 19:29-40
Jesus enters Jerusalem and is honored and glorified as King and Lord, was a wonderful moment in which his followers expressed their faith and left us a lesson in how we should submit to the lordship of Christ. Accepting Christ as King requires of us the fulfillment of certain principles, see some of them:
We must prepare the way for Jesus to go through our lives (28-35). The disciples had to bring the donkey and prepare for the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, in the same way we have to prepare our hearts for the Lord to bless us go through our lives. The donkey is a symbol of humility, and God is looking just humility in us to manifest in our lives
must put everything we are and have their feet (V.36). The mantle was a garment of great value to the men of the time, was the only thing served to protect from the sun during the day and warm at night, putting them at the feet of Christ were symbolizing their dedication and total surrender to the Lord. Surrender our lives to God, say the most valuable thing we have, who gives us security underfoot.
must glorify and praise Him with sincerity and enthusiasm (v.37). The disciples were filled with enthusiasm and began to praise Christ for all the miracles and blessings they had received. His praise was not only emotional, but the result of having seen about the power of Jesus. Only when we know what we worship in truth. Not only is it a matter of opening our mouths, it is necessary that each of us are giving our heart to God, to experience more of his presence and so praise indeed.
That we too may give Jesus the exaltation that was to enter Jerusalem, give our hearts and our lives for Him
